Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical detection, in particular to a film bin fixing structure suitable for rapid movement. Background Art

[0002] Automated staining machines play a vital role in the medical testing field. Their operating principle involves placing sample slides into a specific dye bath sequence. During this process, the slides are manually placed into a slide chamber, which is then transferred between different dye baths using a robotic crane, enabling efficient staining.

[0003] The moving speed of the mechanical arm determines the dyeing throughput of the automatic dyeing machine to a large extent. However, most traditional film bin fixing solutions use two constraint surfaces (such as Figure 1 This fixing method has obvious drawbacks in practical applications. Due to the limited number of restraining surfaces, the slide chamber will swing significantly when the mechanical arm moves at high speed. This problem is particularly prominent when slides are placed on one side of the chamber. This not only reduces the accuracy and stability of the staining operation, but can also lead to a series of adverse consequences.

[0004] On the one hand, if the mechanical arm moves too quickly, the slide chamber can easily become unhooked. This can cause sample slides to scatter, become damaged, and even lead to medical accidents, seriously impacting the accuracy of test results and the patient's diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, when the mechanical arm reaches the designated dye vat, the slide chamber shakes during movement, making it impossible to immediately place the chamber into the dye vat. The chamber must wait until it stabilizes before placement can proceed. This process wastes valuable time, reduces the efficiency of the dyeing machine, and, consequently, impacts the efficiency of the entire testing process.

[0005] In summary, the stability problem of the traditional film bin fixing solution when the mechanical crane moves at high speed needs to be solved urgently to improve the working efficiency, accuracy and safety of the automatic staining machine and meet the growing needs of the medical testing field. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide a film bin fixing structure suitable for rapid movement.

[0007] In order to achieve the above application objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a film bin fixing structure suitable for rapid movement includes:

[0008] The hook is fixed on the mechanical boom and can move with the mechanical boom;

[0009] A snap ring, fixed to the film bin, and provided with a through hole for the hook to enter;

[0010] Among them, the hook has a trapezoidal groove with an inclined guide in the front and back, and there are steps at both ends of the trapezoidal groove. The hook and the clamping ring are used to hook and fix the film magazine.

[0011] Furthermore, the hook's sloped guide design is used to guide the film magazine into the trapezoidal groove to increase the fault tolerance of the mechanical boom position.

[0012] Furthermore, the steps at both ends of the trapezoidal groove work together with the gravity of the film bin to improve the stability of the film bin during movement to prevent it from swaying back and forth.

[0013] Furthermore, the hook is triangular in shape as a whole.

[0014] Furthermore, the through hole is also triangular in shape.

[0015] Furthermore, the hook is fixed to the mechanical boom through a connecting piece, and the snap ring is also fixed to the film bin through a connecting piece.

[0016] Furthermore, a mechanical boom is provided with a plurality of hooks, and each hook corresponds to a clamping ring.

[0017] Furthermore, a second hole is provided on the top of the through hole.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Improve the stability of film chamber movement

[0020] This new hook's unique design, including its overall triangular shape, sloped guides, and steps at each end of the trapezoidal groove, works in conjunction with the film bin's gravity to create a four-constraint system for securing the film bin. Compared to traditional two-constraint system, this significantly reduces the film bin's swing amplitude during high-speed movement of the mechanical boom, effectively preventing the bin from swaying back and forth and ensuring greater stability during movement.

[0021] 2. Avoid the risk of film warehouse decoupling

[0022] The enhanced stability significantly reduces the possibility of the slide chamber becoming unhooked during high-speed movement of the mechanical arm. While conventional techniques limit the speed of the mechanical arm to prevent the slide chamber from becoming unhooked, the present invention allows the mechanical arm to move at higher speeds, reducing the risk of sample slides being scattered or damaged due to unhooking. This effectively avoids potential medical accidents and ensures the safety and reliability of the testing process.

[0023] 3. Improve the working efficiency of dyeing machines

[0024] When the mechanical arm reaches the designated dye vat position, the film bin stabilizes more quickly. Conventional technology requires waiting for the film bin to stabilize before placing it, which wastes time. This new design shortens this waiting time, making the overall dyeing machine workflow more efficient, thereby increasing dyeing throughput and meeting the demand for rapid dyeing of large numbers of samples.

[0025] 4. Good compatibility

[0026] The hook and ring design is compatible and can be adjusted to accommodate film bins of varying sizes and specifications. This feature allows this fixing solution to be widely used in various types of automatic dyeing machines, eliminating the need for large-scale equipment modifications, reducing upgrade and maintenance costs, and improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0027] 5. Realize quick hooking and separation

[0028] The unique hook shape and its coordinated mechanism with the clasp allow for rapid removal and detachment of the film bin. This ensures stable and secure positioning of the bin without compromising the efficient operation of the mechanical boom, further improving the efficiency of the automatic dyeing machine and adapting to the frequent transfer of film bins required in high-throughput dyeing operations.

Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 2-8 As shown, the film bin fixing structure suitable for fast movement is suitable for application on the mechanical boom 1 of the fast transport film bin 2. The scheme mainly consists of a hook 3 ( Figure 2 ) and snap ring 4( Figure 3 )composition.

[0042] Hook 3:

[0043] The hook 3 is fixed to the mechanical arm 1 and moves with the mechanical arm 1. It cooperates with the clamping ring 4 to hook the film bin 2. The hook 3 has three design features: 1. The overall shape is triangular; 2. There are inclined trapezoidal grooves 31 in the front and back to guide the middle; 3. There are small steps 32 at both ends of the trapezoidal groove 31. Figure 4 ).

[0044] The first two design features are to guide the film bin 2 into the trapezoidal groove 31 to increase the fault tolerance space of the mechanical boom 1. The last design feature, together with the gravity of the film bin 2, improves the stability of the film bin 2 during movement and prevents it from swaying back and forth.

[0045] Specific implementation:

[0046] The mechanical arm 1 (because the hook 3 is fixed on the mechanical arm 1, the mechanical arm 1 is referred to as the mechanical arm 1 with the hook 3) moves to the rear of the film bin 2 (because the snap ring 4 is fixed on the film bin 2, the film bin 2 is referred to as the film bin 2 with the snap ring 4) and moves the mechanical arm 1 so that the hook 3 is aligned with the center area of ​​the snap ring 4 ( Figure 5 ), then the mechanical arm 1 moves forward so that the trapezoidal groove 31 of the hook 3 is aligned with the snap ring 4 ( Figure 6 ), then the mechanical arm 1 moves upward, and under the action of the gravity of the film bin 2, the film bin 2 and the film bin 2 are fixed ( Figure 7 ). Separation is the reverse process of the above.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] 1) Preparation

[0049] First, an automatic dyeing machine system is provided, which includes a mechanical boom 1, a film bin 2, and a film bin 2 fixing structure (hook 3 and snap ring 4) of the utility model. The hook 3 is firmly fixed to the lower end of the mechanical boom 1 by welding (of course, it can also be fixed by bolts), and the snap ring 4 is fixed to the top of the film bin 2 by bolt connection. The hook 3 is triangular in shape as a whole, and has a slope of a suitable angle (set according to actual needs, not limited) in front and back, forming an inclined surface 33, leading to a trapezoidal groove 31 in the middle, and obvious steps 32 are set at both ends of the trapezoidal groove 31. The snap ring 4 is provided with a triangular through hole 41 adapted to the hook 3, and a circular second hole 42 is provided on the top of the through hole 41 (to facilitate the painting operation of the snap ring 4, as well as the positioning of the snap ring 4).

[0050] 2) Film bin 2 hooking process

[0051] The mechanical arm 1 begins to move, approaching the location where the film bin 2 is placed. When the mechanical arm 1 moves to the rear of the film bin 2, due to the triangular design and large guiding slope of the hook 3, even if the mechanical arm 1 has a certain deviation in the horizontal position, the hook 3 can easily align with the center area of ​​the clamping ring 4.

[0052] Then, the mechanical arm 1 slowly moves forward, and the hook 3, guided by the slope, smoothly enters the triangular through hole 41 of the snap ring 4. At this time, the film magazine 2 begins to move upward under the push of the hook 3, and as the mechanical arm 1 continues to move forward, the trapezoidal groove 31 of the hook 3 gradually aligns completely with the snap ring 4.

[0053] Finally, the mechanical arm 1 is lifted upward, and under the action of the gravity of the film bin 2, the film bin 2 naturally falls, and the bottom edge of the film bin 2 is locked into the steps 32 at both ends of the trapezoidal groove 31, thus firmly fixing the film bin 2 to the mechanical arm 1. At this time, the film bin 2 is stably suspended under the mechanical arm 1, ready for transportation.

[0054] 3) Transfer process of film warehouse 2

[0055] The robotic arm 1 moves rapidly between the dye vats. Thanks to the unique fixing structure of the hook 3 and the film bin 2, the bin 2 remains stable during movement, exhibiting no noticeable back-and-forth sway or wobble. Even when the robotic arm 1 rapidly changes direction or accelerates or decelerates, the bin 2 remains firmly fixed to the hook 3, effectively preventing the risk of unhooking.

[0056] 4) Film bin 2 placement process

[0057] When the mechanical arm 1 reaches the designated position above the dye vat, the film bin 2 maintains good stability during the transfer process and there is almost no shaking of the film bin 2. There is no need to wait for the film bin 2 to stabilize. The mechanical arm 1 slowly moves downward and accurately places the film bin 2 at the designated position above the dye vat.

[0058] Then, the mechanical crane arm 1 performs the reverse operation, first moving slightly downward so that the gravity of the film bin 2 no longer completely acts on the step 32 of the hook 3, and then moves backward. The hook 3 slides in the opposite direction in the hole of the film bin 2 until it is completely separated from the retaining ring 4, completing the placement operation of the film bin 2. The mechanical crane arm 1 can then prepare for the next film bin 2 hooking task.

[0059] The above examples demonstrate that the film bin 2 securing structure of the present invention effectively addresses the challenges of existing technologies in practical applications, improving the stability and compatibility of the film bin 2 securing mechanism, enabling rapid hooking and detaching, and thereby enhancing the efficiency and reliability of equipment such as automatic dyeing machines. Furthermore, it demonstrates excellent performance with varying numbers of film bins 2, demonstrating its high practical value. In actual production and use, the dimensions of the hook 3 and clasp 4 can be adjusted to meet specific needs to accommodate a wider range of film bins 2 and equipment.

[0060] The parts not described in detail in this utility model are prior art, so this utility model does not describe them in detail.

[0061] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0062] Although this document frequently uses terms such as mechanical arm 1, film magazine 2, hook 3, snap ring 4, trapezoidal groove 31, step 32, through hole 41, and second hole 42, the use of other terms is not excluded. These terms are used solely to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional limitations is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
